Charity, here is how you work through your confusion: go on the date with Roxie. She is going to be watching you very carefully and will not force anything you are uncomfortable with. She values your friendship as much as you do, and one date is not going to change that at all. Unless you force yourself to think it will.

P.S. Oh, and Charity? Even if a friendship blooms into something more than a friendship, it’s still a friendship at the core.

I’m seeing the potential for problems here. While according to the last strip, Roxy may not be an actual employee……but since her surf shop is inside the Rough House, doesn’t that make Charity her LANDLORD?

If so, it strikes me as a very bad idea to be “puttin’ the moves” on your employer, and even worse idea to do so with your landlord.
